Barely anyone watches women's sports, so what do the people in charge of making up dumb rules do? They find a way to make sure even less people watch women's sports by complaining about the camera angles that people use on the hot girls who play sports.
These women already struggle to get fans, so if them looking very attractive helps them make money playing ball, then go for it. Let them be hot and make money. At least they're trying to make an honest living unlike the chicks who post pics of their feet.
This doesn't include the WNBA because most of them are butch and ugly and no one is looking at them anyway.
After reading the guidelines below, you'll come to the conclusion that the person who made this decision was probably a skinny liberal gay dude or a fat white woman with 32 cats and all her mirrors are broken - because even the mirror is disgusted by what it sees.
New broadcasting guidelines for women’s sports, highlighted in the “Raising the Bar” document by the European Broadcasting Union and European Athletics, encourage cameramen and production crews to avoid lingering shots, low angles, and slow-motion replays that sexualize female athletes.
The 23-page guide, created with input from Olympic athletes like Holly Bradshaw, urges broadcasters to focus on athletic performance, technique, and competition rather than body-focused camera work. Specifically, crews are advised to skip low upward angles, tight shots from behind, and non-essential slow-motion clips, while favoring wide and medium shots that showcase skill, strategy, and emotion.
These recommendations build on steps taken during the Paris Olympics, when Olympic Broadcasting Services promoted equal and respectful coverage for both male and female athletes to challenge sexism and stereotypes.
